For roughly the past year and a half I've been recording snippets of progress on this roller coaster of a build, so I though it would be a good idea to edit the footage to create this timeline. Even though we still have quite a way to go before I am happy to call it 'finished', it's great to look back on to see how far we've come...

It's been a little while since I've done a Build Series update so I thought I'd put together this video to show you inside. There have been a couple of unavoidable delays, but things have been moving along steadily behind the scenes, we now have walls and three walkable-on levels.

It's still difficult to believe that we are three and a half years in on this project, most of the time has been spent on planning and legals with only the past eight months being spent on actual construction – this is definitely not for the faint-hearted!

The past two months have been the most exciting, seeing the structure and the lovely Danish hand-made bricks go up has definitely been the highlight so far. Come and have a look inside - it's a total building site, but it's always good to see the 'before' right?

An eternal city girl, I’m a big believer that Modern design brings ease and simplicity to our lives. But Modern doesn’t have to mean boring.

I want to show you how you can use Modern Style as a base and mix it up with your own taste to create your very own take on it.

I’ve completed some major property renovations over the years, but this year I start my most challenging project yet - building my own house in North London. Follow me as I blog about every stage of building and designing a home from scratch.

And in between, I'll be blogging about London living and Modern interiors.
